Solar power to propel small but mighty water-cleaning robot

La Plata National University and Recyclamar Pampa Argentina teamed up to deploy solar power on a self-propelled, water-cleaning robot.

Fresh off its victory in the 2022 World Cup, the nation of Argentina is now gearing up to tackle the massive problem of plastic pollution in waterways around South America and the Caribbean. The country’s premier academic institution, La Plata National University, has teamed up with the company Recyclamar Pampa Argentina to deploy solar power on a self-propelled, water-cleaning robot.
